The Best Travel Gadgets of 2009

Backpacking in Yellowstone and just noticed your BlackBerry's power is running low? If you're also packing Energizer's Xpal SP2000 solar-power pack, you're all set — well, at least as long as the sun is shining. The power pack's solar energy can be used to recharge or extend the battery life of your most critical gadgets. Six hours under the sun — or three hours hooked up to a wall socket — will fully stoke the SP2000, which comes precharged out of the box. The device can charge cell and smart phones, iPods and other MP3 players, gaming devices and digital cameras.
